General Discussion / Re: Situation number limit
« on: March 16, 2018, 06:56:49 pm »
I was not aware there was any limit in any of the tabs...  is it ios or android, phone or tablet, and could you describe how you are limited?

I am aware that there is a bug in the ios ipad version that pushes the add situation dialog off the top of the screen if you have a large number of situations and have scrolled to the bottom.  Is this what you ran into?

You can import ringtone files to the app using the same method as importing songs.  Email them to yourself, or place on cloud storage, etc.   Those files are in m4r or m4a format and that is a recognized format for the app.

But, I can find no current way to get access to the files for the ringtones you purchase from iTunes. 
Apple provides no method for apps to access those ringtone files on the device.

There used to be ways using iTunes on a MAC or PC, but Apple removed all options for that with iTunes 12.7.   

I do see PC/Mac app utilities that claim to be able to get ringtones from your device, but they are not free.

Perhaps there are some expert users of the forum that could point out a way to export the ringtone files.

I had to move the add button to make room for the team menu trigger button. 

This solved two big problems in that most users where not aware that multiple team pages were available and also many users did not immediately see the add button and didn't know where to start.

On iPad screens there would still be room to have the 'add' button on the top of the screen, but not so much on phones.

I would prefer not to move it back, but would be willing to alter it's position and or size it there specific screen orientations where the add button in the lower right gets in the way of anything or makes it unworkable?

I do see the issue with the add song window going off screen with a long list of situations.   I will fix that in the next update.

Enhancement Requests / Re: Walkout Songs - Add "Position" Column/Field
« on: March 16, 2018, 12:04:02 pm »
I have considered the addition of a position, but in the typical use case of this app it seems that many of the positions would change from game to game. 

I suspect the burden to keep the positions accurate might outweigh the benefit for the announcer.  As you mention, the positions are usually required on the lineup card for use cases where it matters.

I am open to more opinions if anyone else on the forum disagrees with my suppositions. 

If this feature would help enough users, I might be able to add an option in the configuration to show or hide a position column so it would be available where necessary and hidden in use cases where it wasn't useful.

Version 2.3.8 was released from the App Store on March 14, 2018.

Added features and modifications include:
- Ability to select and play Apple Music Subscription songs

Spotify denied my application for commercial usage of their songs with Walkout Song DJ.  I did not understand their exact reasons behind the denial, so I sent them an appeal request with further explanation of how their songs would be used in the app.  It took them 8 months to respond with the denial so I am not hopeful that I will hear anything soon or maybe ever.

Sad part is that I have the integration with their sdk developed and it works very well :(

Perhaps you could send them feedback that you would like to see that support.  If enough users contact them, they may see some value in the combination.

General Discussion / Re: Cannot use Apple Music library
« on: March 10, 2018, 02:26:02 pm »
Apple Music songs were not supported until the release that is currently in beta test.  It was a rather monumental task to work around all the limitations that Apple put on playing those songs.  I waited with each iOS release hoping Apple would add a reasonable interface, but they still have not.  As Apple Music support produced almost all the 1-star and negative reviews, I decided to see if I could find some tricks to get the restricted Apple Music song interface to work well enough and I believe I succeeded.  I plan on public release by next weekend, but i can add you to the beta test list if you need it sooner.  Just send me a forum message with your email.

It should accept files with extensions mp3 or m4a and a couple others.  Those are the most common these days.  It is also quite possible the file you tried was fine and some sanity checks I have in the import kicked it out for no good reason.  The Android app has only been released for a couple weeks and I am still finding things to fix on a daily basis.

If you would like to email me the file you tried, I can figure out why the app rejected it and get it fixed if the file is valid and playable by the Android media framework.  My email can be found on my member profile here or at the bottom of the app listing on the google play store.

Regarding the best place to download files... I would recommend just buying them from Amazon.  15 dollars should cover the whole team. Pretty reasonable compared to the price of a new bat for your player.  I did see there is a SoundCloud to mp3 converter listed on Google so perhaps that would work too.

When the link took you to the app, did it ask whether it was a song or announcement?  That indicates it was a valid sound file format.  If so, hopefully you picked

Easiest way is to email the song files to yourself, open the email on your phone, tap on the song file attachment, and there should be some form of destination dialog that has the Walkout Songs app listed to copy to.  Then the Walkout Song app will ask you if it is a song or player announcement and store it in an import folder where you can browse songs for your players.

You can also transfer songs using cloud storage like dropbox, google drive, and such.  Put the song on the cloud service, open the cloud service app, find the song, tap on it and the option to open with Walkout Songs should be there.

Enhancement Requests / Re: Import Players between Teams
« on: March 06, 2018, 01:28:37 pm »
That is a pretty good idea and should be doable...  I will add that to my feature list for the next update cycle and see what I can do.

Thanks for the interest!

General Discussion / Re: Moving edited/cued music from tab to tab
« on: March 06, 2018, 12:57:56 pm »
That does make sense and shouldn't be too difficult to accomplish. 

Probably something like drag the player to the teams icon or left side of the page and it opens the team list to allow you to drop on a team and then ask  move or copy?

Does that sound like it would work?

Looks like I may have figured out enough tricks to manage most of the iOS limitations and allow the Walkout Song DJ app to use songs from an Apple Music subscription.  Still can't access the raw audio samples so gain control and equalizer cannot be applied, but everything else seems to be working.

Since lack of support for Apple Music subscription songs is the biggest source of 1 star ratings and negative reviews, it seems like the time is now to accept some limitations and allow the support even if it is not quite at the experience level of purchased songs and let the user make that choice.

I plan on starting a beta with the Apple Music support this week.  If you are interested in participating in the beta, please message me here or on the support forum with your email address.

- Rewrite of team management and interfaces
- Correctly announce players that do not have numbers
- Improved error message for song files not found opposed to unplayable formats
- Correct button states when deleting last item on any page
- Fix section header alignment of walkout page after import
- Enable name capitalization on Players and Situation entry

Just wanted to alert users to another option for importing song files that is available with iOS 11. 

There is a new files app in iOS that will show cloud sources for files.  If you put song files in mp3 or m4a format on those cloud drives, you can tap and share them with Walkout Song DJ.
